Systems and methods for managing membership in a private data exchange are provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes creating, in a first data exchange belonging to a first data provider, a first listing. The method further comprises creating, in a second data exchange belonging to a second data provider, a second listing, the second listing comprising a tunnel to the first listing. The method also includes generating, in the second data exchange, a third listing, the third listing comprising data from the second listing and additional data from the second data provider.

Managing version sharing in a data exchange

Sharing data in a data exchange across multiple cloud computing platforms and/or cloud computing platform regions is described. An example computer-implemented method can include creating a listing in a data exchange, the listing including a data set hosted by a first cloud computing entity. The data set can be shared with a second cloud computing entity. The method further includes receiving a request associated with a customer account of the second cloud computing entity to access the data set of the listing hosted by the first cloud computing entity and replicating at least a subset of the data set of the listing from the first cloud computing entity to a provider account at the second cloud computing entity to be accessible by the customer account at the second cloud computing entity.

Creating a global data sharing listing

A request to share cloud data associated with a first account in a database system with an application is received. Based on the request, second-party application data and third-party data that is accessible by the first account is identified. The second-party application data comprises application data corresponding to a second application provided by a second-party application provider. The third-party data corresponds to a second account maintained by the database system. The second account corresponds to a third-party data provider. The application is enabled to access the cloud data associated with the first account based on the request. The cloud data comprises customer data associated with the first account, second-party application data, and the third-party data.

Enabling applications to access cloud data

Cloud data sharing for applications

Sharing data in a data exchange across multiple cloud computing platforms is described. An example method can include copying, to a first cloud computing entity using a consumer account of the first cloud computing entity, a first subset of a data set associated with a provider account of a second cloud computing entity, wherein the provider account of the second cloud computing entity does not have access to the first cloud computing entity, and then copying, to a third cloud computing entity using a consumer account of the third cloud computing entity, a second subset of the data set, wherein the provider account of the third cloud computing entity does not have access to the first cloud computing entity, for which the first subset of the data set is different from the second subset of the data set.

System and method for global data sharing

A method includes creating, by a first provider, a first listing referencing first shared data and comprising first access controls, wherein access to the first shared data by a second provider is filtered based on the first access controls, creating, by the second provider, a second listing referencing second shared data and the first shared data filtered based on the first access controls, and adding the second listing to a catalog in a data exchange, the catalog comprising metadata describing the second shared data.

Accessing listings in a data exchange

Systems and methods for managing membership in a private data exchange are provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request for access to a first listing of a data exchange, each listing of the data exchange comprising version metadata. The method further includes, in response to the request, accessing a first version of a data set referenced by the first listing, wherein the first version of the data set comprises a first structure defined by first version metadata, a second listing of the data exchange references a second version of the data set, the second version of the data set comprising a second structure defined by second version metadata, and the second structure is incompatible with the first structure.

Systems, methods, and machine-readable storage devices provide for identifying a user dataset on a distributed database. The system includes generating a similarity score dataset that indicates a similarity between the user dataset and a plurality of datasets of other users of the distributed database. The system generates a plurality of overlap queries that are configured to output overlap datasets between the user dataset and one or more of the plurality of datasets. The system further generates a results dataset by applying one or more of the plurality of overlap queries to a joined dataset comprising data from the user dataset and one of the plurality of datasets of other users on the distributed database.

Overlap queries on a distributed database

Systems and methods for managing membership in a private data exchange are provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a plurality of listings in a data exchange, each of the plurality of listings comprising version metadata and referencing a data set within a database. The method further includes receiving a request for access to a first listing of the plurality of listings and, in response to the request, accessing a first version of the data set that is compatible with first version metadata of the first listing.

A system for generating similarity data for different datasets in a cloud data platform. A first dataset of a plurality of datasets on the cloud data platform is identified, where the first dataset is associated with a first user of the cloud data platform. A semantic type for each feature the first dataset is identified, and each semantic type for the first dataset is compared with existing data of the first user. Semantic types for each feature of each dataset are identified, and each semantic type for the first dataset is compared to each semantic type of each dataset. Overlap requests are generated to output overlap datasets between the first dataset and each of the plurality of datasets. A results dataset is generated by applying the overlap requests to a joined dataset comprising data from the first dataset and data from each of the plurality of datasets.

Overlap results data generation on a cloud data platform

Providing access to consumer information on a private data exchange is described. In an example, privileges are assigned to a share object, granting access to consumer information obtained from a query against data referenced by a data listing of a data exchange. The data exchange comprises one or more data listings provided by one or more data providers. In response to the share object being added to a list of consumed share objects of a data provider that provided the data listing, a database is generated that references the consumer information based on the share object. Access to the database is granted to the data provider that provided the data listing.

Private data exchange metrics sharing

A method includes receiving, from a client device, a request to access data of a data exchange platform. The method further includes receiving a selection corresponding to a monetization option for the data. The method further includes executing, by one or more processors, a monetization operation corresponding to the selection without directing the client device outside of the data exchange platform. The method further includes granting the client device access to the data of the data exchange platform in response to successfully performing the monetization operation.

Data exchange-based platform

Sharing data in a data exchange across multiple cloud computing platforms and/or cloud computing platform regions is described. An example method can include generating a consumer account corresponding to a first cloud entity and receiving, by the first cloud entity, a copy of a data set from a provider account corresponding to a second cloud computing entity, wherein the first cloud computing entity and the second cloud computing entity represent different regions of a cloud computing platform. The method may also include accessing, by the consumer account, the copy of the data set.

Systems and methods for managing membership in a private data exchange are provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a plurality of listings in a data exchange. A first listing of the plurality of listings may include a reference to a first version of shared data within a first database, where the first version is one of a plurality of versions of the shared data within the first database. The method further includes receiving a request from a member of the data exchange for access to the first listing and limiting, by a processing device, access for the member to the first version of the shared data of the first database referenced by the first listing.
